Michael I. Sovern, L.L.B.,
L.L.D.
Vice President for Health Sciences and
Dean of the Faculty of Medicine
My warmest congratulations to each and every one of you who have completed four
strenuous years in one of the finest medical schools in the country. You now have an even
more challenging future ahead of you. The years ahead will seem dominated by the
explosive pace with which new knowledge and technology become available. Your special
responsibility will be to recognize the extent to which knowledge and technology carry
with them social ethical, and financial problems. These problems will demand a solution,
and throughout your professional lives your first concern may be the humanitarian
values which you must apply to the solution of these problems.

Dear Class of 1985:
In the summer of 1981 the Health Sciences Campus appeared to
have insufficient housing for you, yet all were settled in by September
1, 1981. Today Maxwell and Harkness Halls are gone, and Bard Hall
remains as the modernization of the Columbia Presbyterian Medical
Center proceeds. From initial adversity you have exhibited determina-
tion, growth of individual and class personalities, strengths, talents and
leadership which initiated a new era of constructive activity and exten-
sion into the community with involvement long missing on medical
school campuses.
You have officially represented the College of Physicians and
Surgeons at the American Medical Student Association, the New York
County Medical Society, the Medical Society of the State of New York,
the American Medical Association, the Student National Medical Asso-
ciation, the National Association of Minority Medical Educators, the
American Medical Women's Association, the Association of American
Medical Colleges, and the National Institutes of Health.
You have collected awards for outstanding research at the school,
city, state and national levels, published classic scientific research,
been seen in widely distributed publications, made professional movies
and television documentaries, and become missionaries at home and,
literally, around the world.
All this has been done with an articulate intelligence, quality, enthu-
siasm, positivity, ingenuity and diversity which give your class its
individuality. From homeless students you have entered into every
possible facet of extracurricular activity while maintaining academic
excellence. I congratulate you on this assumption of leadership so vital
to the future of all of us. I thank you for my being a part of it. I
congratulate you on having done it so very well. Your broad interests,
achievements, participation and leadership have been well demon-
strated and quite obvious as you have become Physicians and Surgeons.

The Hippocratic Oath
"You do solemnly swear, by whatever each of you holds most sacred
That you will be loyal to the Profession of Medicine and just and
generous to its members
That you will lead your lives and practice your art in uprightness and
honor
That into whatsoever house you shall enter, it shall be for the good of
the sick to the utmost of your power, your holding yourselves far aloof
from wrong, from corruption, from tempting of others to vice
That you will exercise your art solely for the cure of your patients,
and will give no drug, perform no operation, for a criminal purpose,
even if solicited, far less suggest it
That whatsoever you shall see or hear of the lives of your patients
which is not fitting to be spoken, you will keep inviolably secret
These things you do swear. Let each of you bow the head in sign of
acquiescence
And now, if you will be true to this, your oath, may prosperity and
good repute be ever yours; the opposite, if you shall prove yourselves
forsworn."

President
P&S Club
I'm grateful for my involvement in The P&S Club . . .
First, it gave me the opportunity to play a part in providing extra-curricular
diversion for fellow P&S'ers in the setting of a confining curriculum and a confining
neighborhood.
Second, it afforded me the opportunity to meet and become personally close to a
large number of great people both in this graduating class and other classes.
But I must raise my glass to the end (Buick) of this beautiful relationship!
GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!
— Peter Bolo
President
Class of 1985
I want to thank you for the priviledge of being Class President. I would like to
leave you with the parting words of the commencement address to the P&S Class of
1979:
I congratulate you and please let me thank you for taking on
the enormous responsibility that you have — and for having the
strength to have made it to this day. I don't know how you've
managed to learn it all.
But there is one more thing you can learn about the body that
only a non-doctor would tell you — and I hope you'll always
remember this: The head bone is connected to the heart bone —
and don't let them come apart. Thank you.
-AlanAlda, May 1979
I wish you all health and happiness in the future!

Dear Mr. Shikor.
everal times not to wear scrub suits in
You
may not realize that wearing scrub suits in public places is
a reflection of a neurotic, low self esteem, and the need to
eihance one's importance in the eyes of peers and the public,
implying, hopefully, one has "arrived" at a position of import-
ance. This attitude is often necessary for support personnel . It
should not be necessary for well adapted, mature physicians.
The general public, however, sees public display of scrub suits
as aggressive, destructive and offensive as It is an open display
of the patient's (hence the public's) defenseless blood, soul,
heart and very being, therefore their helplessness when "under
the knife."
It would behoove you to stop wearing scrub suits outside medical
buildings. The next time I see you dressed in a scrub suit on the
street or in another public place I will place you on adminis-
trative leave of absence, which may likely delay your graduation.
Should you wish to discuss this, please call my office.

Bard Hall Players
For many of us, the Bard Hall Players are a substantial part of what we will remember when we recall our P&S experience.
As an audience, we'll remember the shows: Two Gentlemen; Midsummer; Company; Fiddler; Godspell; As You Like It;
Mattress; Cabaret; Hair; Hot L; West Side .
As a class we'll remember the people: Nancy R. , Jana, Peter Bolo, Alan, Terri, Peter Branden, Tony, Pam, Linda, Marian,
Manny, Neil T. , Karen, Eric, Neil F., Dave Abis, Jake, Jim, and Dave Bank.
As Players, we'll remember: "Okay, we need somebody to bring up the platforms "; "But, who's going to direct?"; "How
about an evening of one acts? "; "We've only got
two weeks so now it's up to you"; "We need
places for the parties, so please check with your
roommates"; "Have we got a drummer ";
"QUIET . . . PLEASE . . . thank you"; "Aw,
damn, it's not going to work"; "Does it require
trumpets?"; "OK, we need everyone's body over
here"; "How about 'Three Penny'"; "Careful, we
don't want you to get hurt"; "Great Show"; "I'm
not sure we can handle that now . . . but"; "Don't
worry we'll fix it"; "Oh my god, they liked it!"
Mostly we'll remember lots of fun, lots of
work, and incredible warmth.

P&S in Retrospect . . .
By Peter-Andrew Aldea, P&S '83
The first medical instruction in this country was in the form of human
dissection and was done as early as 1750 in New York City by Drs. John Bard
and Peter Middleton. For the most part, however, the standards of medical
care were very poor and loose. On October 21st, 1754, George II "by the
grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the
Faith, etc," proclaimed in a royal charter: "Know Ye, that We, considering
the premises, do of our special Grace, Certain Knowledge, and meer
Motion, by these presents. Will, Grant, Constitute and Ordain, . . . , That
there be erected and made on the said Lands, a College, and other Build-
ings and Improvements, for the use and conveniency of the same, which
shall be Called and Known by the name of Kings College, for the Instruction
and Education of Youth in the Learned Languages, and Liberal Arts and
Sciences;", thus establishing King's College in New York City. The first
active effort of starting medical education at King's College was by Dr.
James Jay (John Jays older brother). He left his practice and went to
London, in 1763, to raise funds for this purpose, and succeeded in his
mission sufficiently to be knighted by King George III. (A scandal arose,
however, when he was unable to deliver the full sum raised, prompting him
to delay his return to New York and start a practice in London instead,
which he kept until the war broke out. ) In 1767, a group of young physicians
offered their services to the board of governors of the college "to institute a
medical school within this college, for instructing pupils in the most useful
and necessary branches of medicine." Their offer was readily accepted by
the board, as it was convinced that such a school "will not only (by promot-
ing the true knowledge of medicine) tend to the honour and reputation of
this college in particular, but be also a public benefit to society". Thus, was
opened, on November 2nd, 1767, the Medical School of King's College, the
first medical school in America, directly associated with an institution of
"general learning." Its organizers and faculty were Drs. Samuel
Clossy (Anatomy), John Jones (Surgery), Peter Middleton (Theory of Phy-
sic), Samuel Bard (Practice of Physic), James Smith (Chemistry and Materia
Medica), and John V.B. Tennet (Midwifery). The first graduation
was held on May 16th, 1769 in Trinity Church. In a ceremony that lasted
over five hours the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine (M.B.) were conferred
on Robert Tucker and Samuel Kissam. Subsequently, the first two M.D.
degrees in the colonies were awarded to Robert Tucker, in 1770, and to
Samuel Kissam in 1771. (The latter's graduation thesis was titled "An
inaugural essay on the anthelmintic quality of the Phafeolus Zuratenfis
Siliqua hirfuta, or Cow-Itch).
In 1769, in his speech given at the first graduation ceremony of the
medical school, Samuel Bard made a strong plea for building a public
hospital in New York. The need for a hospital which would serve the
community and "afford the best and only means of properly instructing
pupils in the practice of medicine," prompted Samuel Bard and the rest of
the faculty to petition and obtain, in 1771, a Royal Charter from King
George III, authorizing the construction of The New York Hospital. The
plans for the hospital were drawn by Dr. Jones, Professor of Surgery, the
same year, and the cornerstone was laid in 1773. But, the completion of the
first New York public hospital suffered repeated setbacks. In 1776, it was
damaged in a great fire and in the battle of New York. After new buildings
were built in 1782, it sustained damanged in the Doctors' Riot of 1788.
A mob angered by rumours of physicians' grave robbing (resurrec-
tionist) activities stormed the hospital, destroyed its anatomical collection
and rampaged through doctors' offices throughout the city for four days. The
hospital finally opened in 1791 and became the first teaching hospital in
New York City.
The year 1776 polarized the entire population, making the traditional
refuge of the medical profession virtually impossible. At the medical
school, the faculty became divided into Loyalists (Bard, Clossy, and
Middleton) and Patriots (Jones and Smith). As it was becoming clear the war
would soon shift from Boston to New York, an army of 20,000, hastily
mobilized, untried revolutionaries came to defend the city. In April 1776,
medical, studies were suspended at King's College, the students were
dispersed, and the college was taken over by the Committee for Safety and
then by Washington's troops. Despite accurately anticipating English in-
tentions, General Washington was unable to hold the city. His losses in the
brief battles of New York and Long Island to General Howe resulted in
English domination of New York until 1783.
The war, the occupation, and the serious fires of 1776 and 1778 had a
devasting effect on the city, whose population shrank to half its pre-war
size. In 1783, the city changed hands, the rebuilding began, and the
medical void left by the war was quickly filling with physicians and surgeons
released from military service. The war, however, did not bring about any
remarkable changes in medical education. Medical education remained
based predominantly on the apprentice system, in which a few students
attended formal courses in addition to their studies in doctors' offices, and
even fewer pursued advanced medical education abroad. A newcomer to
this post-war New York medical scene was Dr. Nicholas Romayne, who was
educated in Edinburgh, Paris and Leyden. In 1784, with the help of Samuel
Bard, the former Kings College reopened as Columbia College. Dr.
Romayne was named both Trustee and Professor of the Practice of Medicine
in the medical school; joining him on the faculty were Samuel Bard (Chem-
istry), Charles McKnight (Anatomy and Surgery), Benjamin Kissam (Insti-
tutes of Medicine), and Ebenezer Crosby (Midwifery). Unfortunately, the
medical school was short-lived. In addition to personal differences between
Romayne and Bard, there was considerable friction concerning the practice
of private instruction by members of the faculty. In 1787, Romayne res-
igned from the faculty to form his own medical school. Subsequent faculty
resignations shortly thereafter effectively closed down the school.
In 1791, Romayne petitioned the Regents of the University of the State of
New York to recognize his school. However, such action by the Regents was
fought by the trustees of Columbia College, who claimed that only they had
the legal right to form a medical school. Subsequently, when the Columbia
College Medical School proved a failure, the Regents allowed the Medical
Society of the County of New York, in March 1807, to incorporate as a
College of Physicians and Surgeons. The president of the society, Dr.
Romayne, became the president of the College; joining him on the faculty
were Drs. Samuel Mitchell (Chemistry), David Hosack (Surgery, Midwif-
ery, Materia Medica and Botany), Edward Miller (Practice of Medicine),
Archibald Bruce (Mineralogy), John Augustine Smith (Anatomy), and Ben-
jamin DeWitt (Institues of Medicine). The College was first located at No.
18 Park Place (formerly, Robinson Street). "At that time, most of the city
was below Chambers Street. The wealthier residences were at the lower
end of Broadway, about the Battery and Bowling Green, with the shops in
the upper part of the same street. Broadway was paved only to the neighbor-
hood of Canal Street beyond which it continued as a road. Canal Street itself
existed only on paper, and was represented by a swamp and a sluggish
stream, crossed by a bridge at the intersection of Broadway." Two years
later, in 1809, the College moved to No. 553 Pearl Street. In 1810, it was
reported that "certain misunderstandings having taken place between the
then president (Dr. Romayne) and the professors" prompting the Regents to
investigate these differences. In 1811, at the age of sixty-nine, Samuel Bard
154
was allied from retirement to the presidency of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons. After returning to New York in 1784 and reorganizing
Columbia College, Bard (the former Loyalist) had opened a very fashion-
able and busy practice, which included George Washington (whose carbun-
cle he successfully incised, in 1789, assisted by his father. Dr. John Bard).
Samuel Bard retired, in 1789, to his estate in Hyde Park, New York "to
devote his leisure to the care of his estate and to scientific and literary
pursuits." The year 1811, also saw the graduation of the first class (eight
students) of the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
For the next few years, while the Columbia College Medical School had
little more than maintained an existence, (conferring its last degree on
Robert Morrel, in 1810), the College of Physicians and Surgeons had
become quite successful. In 1813, it moved again, this time to a three-story
building at No. 3 Barclay Street, and in its eighth session (1814-1815). the
class numbered 121 students. In 1814, to allow the professors of the
Columbia College Medical School to join the faculty of the College of
Physicans and Surgeons, all the medical lectures at Columbia were sus-
pended and "complete union had taken place." In reality, however, there
was no true union between the two institutions. In 1860. under the leader-
ship of Edward Delafield, the College of Physicans and Surgeons became
independent of the Regents of the State University and became the Medical
Department of Columbia College. In this union, however, both institutions
were united only in conferring the M.D. degrees, but remained indepen-
dent of one another. A true union between the College of Physicians and
Surgeons and Columbia College, was established only in March 1891, when
the latter surrendered its charter, donated all its property (valued at 1,625
million dollars) to, and became an integral part of, Columbia University.
In 1837, the College moved to No. 67 Crosby Street into facilities
"unsurpassed by any similar establishment in the Union". This move began
a long period of quiet and productive growth. In 1841, Dr. Willard Parker,
Professor of Surgery, established the College Clinic, where students would
observe diagnosis and treatment in an ambulatory care setting. From a
single clinic of minor surgery held once a week, the clinic grew by 1876 to
include ten different clinics (including, Pediatrics, Gynecology, Dermatol-
ogy, Venereal Diseases, Medicine, Neurology, and others). Indeed, the
prominence of the College Clinics became so great, that in 1869, it promp-
ted the establishment of a new grade of teachers, lasting to the present,
named Clinical Professors, each of whom was in charge of his special clinic.
In the year 1851, Bellevue Hospital joined The New York Hospital as a
teaching institution. Thus, medical instruction at the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, then more than ever before, covered the entire spectrum of
disease from ambulatory - care to the more serious and advanced conditions
seen in the hospitals. Finally, a significant advancement in medical educa-
tion came in 1854 with the passage by the state legislature of the "Anatomical
Bill", which secured for medical schools all the unclaimed bodies from the
state penal and charitable institutions. Prior to 1854, medical schools were
only able to lawfully obtain for dissection the unclaimed bodies of convicts
who died in the penitentiaries of Sing Sing and Auburn. Consequently,
there was considerable dealing in bodies dug up from the old Potter's field
cemetary, and such anatomical specimens could only be secured by uncer-
tain, illegal and often dangerous nocturnal expeditions. Understandably, in
1819, when the College moved to Barclay Street, "for the safety and
convenience" of the College, an additional building, "to answer the pur-
pose of a stable" and an entrance, were built in the rear. There is no doubt
that this rear entrance and stable were built for the "safety and conveni-
ence" of the Anatomy department.
In 1856, the College moved into a four story brick building on 23rd street
and 4th Avenue, where is remained for thirty-one years. This period
encompassed three important milestones in the history of the College of
Physicians and Surgeons. Two of these were discussed earlier, namely the
1860 agreement under which the College became indepenedent of the
Regents, and became the Medical Department of Columbia College, and
the rapid rise in the importance and prominence of the College Clinics
begun, in 1841, by Dr. Parker, with the establishment of the new teaching
grade of Clinical Professors. Lastly, under the active leadership of President
Edward Delafield, the Alumni Association of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons was established in 1859 "for promoting good feeling and harmony
among the graduates of the College" and "to exercise, in a variety of ways, a
beneficial influence."
In 1884, William H. Vanderbilt decided, with the influence of his friend
and physician, James W. McLane, Professor of Obstetrics, "to give substan-
tial aid to the effort to create in New York one of the first medical schools in
the world". He chose to support the College of Physicians and Surgeons
because it was "the oldest medical school in the state, and of equal rank with
any in the world. " In October 1884, he gave the College the deed to the land
enclosed between 9th and 10th Avenues, and 59th and 60th Streets, with a
check for three-hundred thousand dollars for building expenses: In all, a gift
of half of a million dollars. However, W. Vanderbilt never lived to see his
project completed; he died in December 1885 of a massive stroke. The
College building cornerstone was laid in April 1886, and the building was
inaugurated in September 1887. The building consisted of "three
connected structures: namely, a main building, . . . containing
offices, museums, study and recitation rooms, professors rooms, and
the department of practical Anatony. a middle building occupying the
central part of the grounds, in which are the main stairway hall, the lecture
hall, the amphitheatre, and the rear stairway, and a north building or
laboratory wing . . . containing the janitor's quarters, the chemical labor-
atories, and the laboratories of the Alumni Association" . . . "Outside . . .
are the boiler house, and a one-story laboratory annex and nearby a carriage
house, with rooms on the second floor for the accomodation of employees."
Moreover, two marble tablets were placed in the main entrance of the
building. The tablet placed on the west side of the vestibule listed the
different locations of the college since its foundation, and the tablet placed
on the east side of the vestibule bore the inscription "This College was
chartered by the Regents of the University of New York, March 12th, 1807,
and was Co-instituted the Medical Department of Columbia College, June
6th, I860." Presently, these marble tablets are located in the latest location
of the College.
After Vanderbilt's death, his family decided to commemorate him and
supplement his original gift. Guided by Dr. McLane, they founded two new
institutions for the College. In Janurary, 1886, less than a month after
Vanderbilt's death, his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W.D.
Sloane, donated the funds needed for the building and endowment of the
Sloane Maternity Hospital. In April 1886, Vanderbilt's four sons
donated the funds for the building, endowment, and subsequent expansion
of the Vanderbilt Clinic, built to house the very busy College Clinics (Fig.
9). Excavations for these buildings began in 1886, and both were inaugu-
rated in December 1887.
In 1928, the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center opened its doors as
the world s first medical center, combining in a single complex complete
facilities for patient care, medical education and research. As a fertile
ground for investigation and clinical advancement, Columbia has since then
occupied a position of leadership in world medicine. Presently, the medical
center has a teaching staff of more than 2,000, a bed capacity of 1.500, and is
served by a staff of approximately 950 attending physicians, a house staff
body of 400 physicians, and close to 6,000 hospital employees. In retro-
spect, the College of Physicians and Surgeons has certainly come a long way
sine 1767, when "a six man faculty began instructing a class of three"
students "in the most useful and necessary branches of medicine."

CONGRATULATIONS
TO THE
CLASS OF 1985
Now that you're starting out in your medical
career, you'll be spending so much time examining
the health of others, you may not have time to
examine the state of your own finances. So while
you're helping your patients keep physically fit,
our goal is to keep you fiscally fit.
As a student, you've had the benefits of Chemical's
free checking and a ChemBankcard. As a recent
graduate, you're also invited to take advantage of
Chemical's free financial counseling as well as
financial planning seminars specially designed for
health care professionals.
It's Chemical's way of not only wishing you
career success, but of ensuring your financial
success, too.

P&S Yearbook
The 1985 P&S Yearbook was put together by about fourteen fourth-year
students over a period of six months. Its completion, despite interviews and
away-electives, attests to the group effort involved.
Co-editors Jeff Avner and Peter Bolo were the backbone of the team. Although
a yearbook neophyte, Jeff dazzled all with his ability to conduct, yearbook
business while sketching interview travelogs on AAA road maps. Peter, a master
of layouts and foreign film, was responsible for putting the finishing touches on
and delivering the book to the printer.
Among the others, none was more colorful than Lou "Risky Business"
Brusco, who put the yearbook in the black three weeks ahead of schedule.
Candid Section editors Robin Brown and Jenny Julien had the unenviable task of
trying to collect photos while waging a publicity war with Fred Brancati and his
P&S admissions' tours at Tony's Desk. Lisa Ross, Class Section editor, was on the
phone with Thornton Studios so often we almost set up a hotline for her.
Considering the experience of our photographers, T.C. Meng did some truly
amazing things in his darkroom. Elba Pacheco assisted with layouts for several
sections and was nearly rewarded with her own centerfold.
Finally, Scott Shikora was instrumental in completing both the Faculty am
Business Sections. Joe Alexander reappeared miraculously after a two-month
abscence to do some eleventh-hour typing. Paul Fritz was kind enough to
submit some great cartoons.
We hope the words and photographs collected in this book will help the Class
of '85 to recall memories of the "P&S Experience. " Please direct any correspond-
ence to Jeff Avner or Peter Bolo c/o Damage Control, Presbyterian Hospital, W.
168th Street, New York, New York, 10032.
